Description
I print on handmade papers made from recycled materials as well as plant fibers, especially those of invasive plants “Smart Move” is printed on paper containing Oriental bittersweet and abaca fiber. The image is inspired by the story of a veteran who survived being shot in Vietnam after larvae debrided his wounds. Here, the larva serves as a poignant symbol of survival and the unexpected ways insects can sustain human life.
